![]() Levels above the 95 th percentile detect FH among first-degree ![]() Levels alone or combined with family history. Identification of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) has traditionally used LDL-C To the NCEP risk categories with 95% confidence. Measurement is insufficient for practitioners to assign children and adolescents TC minus HDL-C above the 95 th percentile is 88–96% sensitive and 98% Questioning the utility of fixed screening cut points. Of these data, age, sex, and race have significant effects on lipid levels White and Mexican American children and adolescents. Significantly higher mean TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels compared to non-Hispanic Non-Hispanic Black children and adolescents had Girls had significantly higher mean TC and LDL-C levels 56 Mean age-specific TC levels peaked at 171 mg/dL at 9–11 years andĭeclined at older ages. Indicate a 95 th percentile cut point for serum TC as 216 mg/dL andįor LDL-C as 152 mg/dL. 56 NHANES III data from 7,499 children and adolescents ages 4–19 years Health Examination Survey (NHES) III (1966-1970) and NHANES I (1971-1974) levels Mean TC levels among 12–17 year olds decreased by 7 mg/dL from the National (NHANES) III (1988-94) confirm many of these findings. More recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Results for African AmericanĬhildren were similar, however, they were based on smaller numbers and provided Percentile level was 200 mg/dL for TC and 130 mg/dL for LDL-C ( Table 2). TC was approximately 160 mg/dL and for LDL-C was 100 mg/dL. For all children, the mean serum level for At puberty, TC levels declined slightly for both boys and girls,Īnd HDL-C levels declined for boys. In the LRC sample, TC levels increased from birth and stabilized at approximatelyĪge two years. To be a representative sample of the North American population. ![]() Socio-economic, occupational, sex, and ethnic groups, but they were not selected The selected populations included a broad range of geographic, Fasting (≥12 hours) lipidĪnd lipoprotein levels were obtained in 15,626 children age 0–19 years betweenġ972-1976. Subjects primarily based on residency within census tracts, school enrollment,Īnd employment in occupational and industrial groups. 14 This study included one Canadian and nine U.S. The Lipid Research Clinics (LRC) Prevalence Study. Levels from large samples of normal healthy children, 51 – 53 current recommendations 11, 34, 35, 54 are based on distributions of lipid and lipoprotein levels obtained from Although several studies conducted in the U.S. ![]()
